00:05.700 --> 00:08.610
To be perfectly honest , the military

00:08.610 --> 00:11.300
is not something that I have had a

00:11.300 --> 00:13.356
whole lot of high respect for . It's

00:13.356 --> 00:15.467
not that I hated it . It's not that I

00:15.467 --> 00:17.467
didn't like it necessarily . I just

00:17.467 --> 00:19.578
don't think I was educated on what it

00:19.578 --> 00:22.320
could provide and what you actually do

00:22.320 --> 00:24.487
for these kids who come in and how you

00:24.487 --> 00:26.830
make them into amazing young adults .

00:28.720 --> 00:29.720
United States .

00:42.760 --> 00:45.000
I can read in a book all I want about

00:45.000 --> 00:47.850
the marines , but to actually see the

00:47.850 --> 00:49.794
young marines at all the different

00:49.794 --> 00:52.430
stages of their career was so eye

00:52.430 --> 00:55.550
opening and educating and we always say

00:55.560 --> 00:57.560
we're preparing kids for college or

00:57.560 --> 00:59.950
career . I'm going to be a strong

00:59.950 --> 01:02.283
proponent of college career or military .

01:03.810 --> 01:06.032
I think something that surprised me the

01:06.032 --> 01:07.866
most that was learning about the

01:07.866 --> 01:09.977
different job opportunities , Most of

01:09.977 --> 01:11.866
the students I've worked with who

01:11.866 --> 01:11.510
wanted to go into the military ,

01:11.510 --> 01:13.621
specifically the marines wanted to be

01:13.621 --> 01:16.100
infantrymen . Uh and it was really cool

01:16.100 --> 01:18.211
hearing all of the different kinds of

01:18.211 --> 01:20.322
jobs that people can do and I heard a

01:20.322 --> 01:22.378
lot of options that I think could be

01:22.378 --> 01:24.630
good for the right student that maybe

01:24.630 --> 01:26.852
you wouldn't necessarily associate with

01:26.852 --> 01:27.852
the military .

01:32.820 --> 01:34.987
I think if an educator has a chance to

01:34.987 --> 01:36.876
come to educators workshop , they

01:36.876 --> 01:39.042
definitely should do it . It was a lot

01:39.042 --> 01:41.209
of fun . It was super informative . We

01:41.209 --> 01:43.431
got the tiniest taste of what it's like

01:43.431 --> 01:45.653
to be a new recruit , but it was also a

01:45.653 --> 01:47.431
great opportunity to meet other

01:47.431 --> 01:49.598
counselors and educators and it was an

01:49.598 --> 01:50.090
awesome time
